    "Back to 1978" takes the perspective of Jiang Xiaobai, a recent economics graduate, on the eve of China's reform and opening up, vividly depicting the diverse social realities under the turbulent tide of that era. The author meticulously recreates the everyday life and institutional constraints of the late 1970s, reflecting the pains and opportunities of economic transformation through the ups and downs of individual entrepreneurship. It bears the imprint of the era—state-owned enterprise reform and the dual-track pricing system—while also brimming with the vibrant energy of those who bravely navigated the business world. It can be considered a micro-history of reform and opening up, tinged with the realities of everyday life and the struggles of its inhabitants. Recommended for readers who enjoy period novels and stories about the grand sweep of history.

    "The pastoral life in this book is the kind you truly 'live in'." None of the four "no's" you mentioned are present in *Exploring the World of Food*. But it has something else entirely: the ability to slow down the pace of life. What is "authentic pastoral life"? It's not about a system-generated, one-click harvest, nor is it the filtered pastoral life of a livestream. It's about building shelters by moving stones yourself. It's about planting terraces by setting the contour lines yourself. It's about cooking a meal, starting with grinding wheat grains into flour, and waiting for the right heat from boiling sugar. There's a one-eyed old monkey who gets up earliest every day to start a fire. Before dawn, the fire is already lit. It sits there, watching the fire gradually stabilize—this scene is the "pastoral feel" of this book. It's not about how beautiful the scenery is, but about someone starting a fire for you every day. What is "leisure"? It's dedicating an entire chapter to writing about a meal. It's about watching the amber color in the pan while making candied sweet potatoes, not allowing even a second's difference. It's teaching a group of enormous monkeys: put the thick slices of meat aside and eat them yourself, only nodding when they're perfectly sliced. This kind of "leisure" isn't about lying around; it's about returning your attention to life itself. Every task deserves to be done seriously, and every person deserves to be seen. What's the difference between this and *Leisurely Mountain Dwelling*? *Leisurely Mountain Dwelling* is about one person managing a world. This book is about one person, leading a group of lives, turning the wilderness into a home. It doesn't have any "show-off" or "face-slapping," but it does have "from impulsiveness to restraint"—a restless male monkey learns to guard three pots without lifting a single one. It doesn't have any "cultivation of immortality," but it does have "building order from scratch"—how food sharing becomes the starting point of a social contract. In conclusion: If you're looking for a book that you can remember after reading it, like "what color the sugar turned" or "when the old monkey got up to start the fire"—this is it. It's not about letting you enjoy it and then forget it. It's about making you want to live there.
